Vancouver Fashion Week (VFW) is a fashion week in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada that is currently run by Jamal Abdourahman [1][2] The event is seven days long per season[3] and held twice a year at the Chinese Cultural Centre of Greater Vancouver. Jaime Shulman was VFW's executive director from 2005 - 2008.[4] Fashion designs by Dorinha Jeans Wear, Queena Yan, and Ezchelle have appeared at VFW.[5] Sanjana Jon won the International Rising Star award at VFW one year.[6] In 2008, VFW was held on the other side of the street from Oppenheimer Park in a warehouse.[7] In 2011, the tenth anniversary VFW was held in False Creek's Masik Studios.[8] Both the female and male winners of the 2013 Supermodel of the Bahamas competition appeared at VFW in September 2013.[9] Sini Moilanen said that having her designs shown at VFW that year was one of the highlights of her career.[10]
